time must be correct and a starting time

and finishing time for the timer(s) must be

programmed, see page 10. Both timers

operate in the same way.

Ignite the heater and select the preset

temperature as for normal operation.

Press the timer 1 and / or timer 2 button(s).

The timer indicator(s) will glow and the unit

will change to stand-by mode. The burners

will extinguish and the ON indicator will

change from red to green. The display will

show the start time for the selected timer

briefly before returning to the clock display.

When the heater is in stand-by mode, you

can display and change the clock and the

on and off times for both timers in the same

way as described earlier.

The timers can be deactivated by either

pressing the timer button(s) that you want

to deactivate or by turning the heater off

using the ON/OFF button.

NOTE: If there is a power failure, the

system memory will retain the Timer

programs, and the clock will stop at the

time the power goes off. The clock will start

again when the power comes back on, but

the time will be slow by the duration of the

power failure. To set the clock to the

correct time after the power has come

back on, simply follow the instructions on

page 10.

• OVERRIDE

This function is intended to be used to

manually override the current operation of

OVERRIDE until the OVERRIDE button is

pressed again, or one of the timers takes

over the operation of the heater. This

means that the OVERRIDE mode will

automatically turn off if a programmed

starting time is reached. The heater will

then return to operating at times

programmed into the timer(s). Turning the

heater off will also deactivate the

OVERRIDE.

manual operation of the heater. If the

heater is in stand-by (timer) mode then only

the OFF button will work. Pressing the OFF

button when the heater is in stand-by mode

will deactivate the timers and the heater

can now be operated manually.

The ON and OFF buttons on the remote

work in the same way as the ON / OFF
